ROOSEVELT CHOSEN
ELECTED BY LARGEST POPULAR
VOTE EVER RECORDED
PARKER CONGRATULATES THE PRESIDENT
All Doubtful States Went Republican
Missouri Breaks Away from Solid
South Both Houses or Congress
Strongly Republican
ELECTORAL VOTE
Roosevelt 34J
Parker 104
Necessary to a Choice 239
New York: Tho republican national
ticket has been elected by a vole In
tho electoral college that will exceed
that of 292 given for McKlnlcy In 1000.
Tho result of tho balloting was as-
tounding even to tho most sanguine of
tho republican managers. Conlidcnt
as thoy wcro of success they wero
not prepared for tho astonishing fig-
ures which followed tho closing of tho
polls bringing Into tho republican col-
umn not. only all of thoso states thoy
had claimed as safo for their candi-
dates but with tho possible exception
of Maryland every stato considered
doubtful.
Democratic successes aro confined
to tho solid south in which Kontucky
is included and Mr. Parker has not
carrlod a singlo stato which did not
glvo Hb voto to Mr. Bryan four years
ago. Unofficial rot urns indicate that
ho has lost somo of thoso which tho
Nebraska candidate hold for his party
As a dramatic climax to tho sensa-
tional majorities given him came Pecs-
Idont Roosevelt's formal announce-
ment that bo would not bo a candi-
date for reelection lending the only
exciting aspect to an election other-
wise so one-sided that It was impos-
sible for even tho victors to attain Hint
degrco of enthusiasm that usually
marks tho occasion.
President Roosevelt carried all tho
northern states swept them in fact
and how ho has 313 doctoral votes.
Tho bannor stato Is Pennsylvania.
Twenty-four hours after tho polls
closed tho roturns of this stato Indi-
cated that Roosovclt's pluiallty
would roach 485000. Noxt camo Illi-
nois whoro tho president polled ap-
proximately 225000 more votes than
did .Tudgo Pnrkor. Ohio gavo Roose-
velt 200000 and New York 174000.
Tho Now York city returns are still
Incomploto but tho amazement over
tho result has not subsided. .Tudgo
Parker carried Greater New York by
nearly 41000 votes.
In general tho situation Is con 11-
dontly interesting bocauso notwlt li-
the states woro cut President Roose-
velt ran aimed of his ticket In many
localities notably in Massachusetts
whoro Uo socurod a plurality of 80000
votes whllo tho republican candidate
foT govornor was defeated by 35000.
In that stato tho legislature Is repub-
lican nnd tho entlro ropubllcnn ticket
.with tho exception of govornor was
elected.
In Nobraska tho deflnlto announce-
ment is that tho loglslaturo is repub-
lican and disposes of tho statement
that Win. .1. Bryan has aspiration for
a United States senatorshlp. In thnt
stato too tho governorship Is in
doubt.
There Is a curious situation In Min-
nesota whore Roosevelt secured 125-
000 plurality but whoro a democratic
governor nnd a republican lieutenant
govornor wore elected.
Chairman Babcock of tho ropubll-
cnn congrcFsional committee has been
returned to congress fiom Wiscon-
sin but Chairman Cowherd of tho
democratic congressional c:nltteo
was fcrcatca In Mloeourl.
New York With the election re-
turns still Incomplete the plurality ol
President Roosevelt In the nation ac-
cording to all Indications will exceed
1500000 tho greatest plurality over
given an American candidate. Tho
nearest approach to this vlto was In
1890 when McKlnlcy received a plu-
rality approximating 850000 and in
1872 when Grant received 702991 phr
rality.
Interest centers in Missouri and
Maryland. Lato returns indicate that
tho former stato is In the republican
column so far as presidential elect-
ors aro concerned but Joseph W. Folk
the democratic candidate has been
elected govornor. In Maryland the
presidential vote will probably be cast
for Roosevelt. Lato returns indicate
that Thomas A. Smith democrat has
been elected to congress In the First
district by 450 plurality. Congress-
man Jackson of this district however
puts forward a claim of trick ballots
and fraud and says ho will contest tho
election.
In the other states It Is simply a
question of pluralities.
Tho "solid south" was broken by
the defection of Missouri this section
COLORADO
Denver Tho democrats now con-
cede the election of three republican
congressmen In Colorado. Revised
roturns glvo Franklin E. Brooks
(Rep.) a majority of 2970 over John
F. Shaf froth Dem.) congressman at
Largo and show 2785 plurality for
R. W. Bonyngo (rep.) in tho First dis-
trict and 0082 plurality for H. M.
Hogg (rep.) in the Second district.
WEST VIRGINIA
Parkorsburg Tho democrats have
conceded everything to tho republi-
cans in West Virginia including the
flvo congressmen and tho legislature.
The only dispute Is on tho majority
of Dawson for govornor. Republi-
cans claim it will bo 10000 demo-
crats say 5000.
MARYLAND
Baltimore That an official count
of tho ballots for tho presidential
electors at last Tuesday's election in
Maryland will be required boforo do-
flnlto knowledge of tho result can bo
assured was demonstrated by the
semi-official count In Baltimore City
and in twenty of tho twenty-throe

133 votes for Judge Parker.
MISSOURI
St. Louis Comploto returns from
all tho counties in tho state and most
of them official glvo Folk for gov-
ornor 30.5GG plurality. Tho rest of
the republican stato ticket Is defeat-
ed. On tho national ticket tho Roose-
velt electors received a plurality of
28271. Tho stato loglslaturo Is re-
publican nnd on joint ballot will se-
cure election of a republican United
States senator.
Kansas City Tho Star says:
Chairman Evans of tho democratic
stato commlttoo concedes tho election
of eight republican congressmen in
Missouri. Thoy aro Frank D. Klep-
por In tho Third district; Frank B.
Faulkerson in 'tho Fourth district;
Edgar C. Ellis In tho Fifth; John Wol-
born in tho Sevonth; Richard Bar-
tholdt In tho Tenth; Marlon R.
Rhodes In tho Thirteenth; William T.
Tyndnll In tho Fourteenth and Gas-
slua M. SUartol In tho Fiftoonth
counties of tho stato. Tho returns
received thus far indicate that seven
democratic and ono republican elec-
tor wero chosen. Tho congressional
situation remnins three democratic
and threo republican congressmen
having been elected.
INDIANA

ported from ninoty-two county seats
givo Roosevelt and Fairbanks a plu-
rality of 92871.

LOUISIANA
New Orleans Louisiana's plurality
for tho national democratic ticket !3

safo estimates place tho vote at 50
000 to 00000 democratic and from

IOWA
Dos Moines Indications in well dis-
tributed returns Indicate that Roose-
velt's plurality will bo 125000 and
the entiro state ticket will have about
tho samo number. Republicans elect
ten 'congressman with the chances
that tho Second district which Is in
doubt will also go republican. Wade
democrat however seems to be hold-
ing his own with the voto of 1902
when ho carried the district by 1500.
NEBRA.SKA-
Lincoln Practically complete re-
turns from every. county In tho stato
on presidential electors and governor
show that Roosevelt's plurality in Ne-
braska will not bo less than 80000
and may roach 90000. Governor
Mickey's plurality is not less than
9000. In the legislature on joint
ballot tho republicans will have 123
to nono for the opposition with ono
senatorial district in doubt. Should
the republican candidate win in this
district tho stato senate will bo
solidly republican.

indicate th(n lntter's' election by a
small majority.
